Note: this page provides an introduction to the peer review process as it exists in wiki publishing. For a more general account of peer review, see peer review (general).
There are three stages in wiki publishing; preliminary drafts, formal peer review, and the "end stage" which is equivalent to traditional publishing of a peer reviewed article and what can happen after publishing (correction, retraction, citation).
Peer review template[]
The first author of an article can designate an article as being available for the formal peer review process by appending the {{Peer Review}} template to the article. If a {{Preliminary draft}} template was previously use in an article, it should be removed when {{Peer Review}} is added. This is what the {{Peer Review}} template looks like:

The peer review process[]
- Formal reviews of wiki articles are themselves wiki articles. See the instructions at the Reviewer Guidelines page.
- Formal reviews should be on their own wiki page and linked in both directions to the article that is reviewed.
- Formal reviews must include the {{Peer Review Article}} template.
- Peer review articles should use a Peer review article outline. For details see the Reviewer Guidelines page.
